Rumour: Justice League villain revealed?

The Justice League movie is rumoured to have chosen Darkseid as its villain, according to

Review.

The
report has suggested that the malevolent, practically immortal ruler of
the planet Apokolips will unfurl his campaign of death, destruction and
misspelling in the DC Comics ensemble romp that's due to arrive in
2015.
This news should be taken with a rather sizeable pich of salt, as, in the absence of any set details about the project, the Justice League rumour mill has been working overtime of late.
Only last week, Joseph Gordon-Levitt denied claims
that he was going to play JL stalwart Batman, while everyone from Ben
Affleck to Christopher Nolan has been falsely reported as taking on
directing duties since George Miller walked in 2008.

Nevertheless,
Darkseid seems like a plausible choice: A nine-foot tall demigod with
the ability to control minds and shoot deathly beams from his eyes, he
would pose a threat big enough to necessitate the likes of Superman and
Wonder Woman joining forces.

Now the question is who could play
this towering villain? Could this be Stephen Merchant’s chance to bulk
up and broaden his acting portfolio?
